A
keynote address that teaches you how to overcome
challenges by creating the life you want at home and in
the workplace.
Here is a vivid personal
account of how Dr. Robby Gordon survived the most
difficult time in his life and learned to set goals, asked
for what he wanted, and succeeded in a surprising way,
overcoming challenges.
Dr. Gordon was
drafted into the army in 1970. As a pacifist, he had
dreams of being a photographer in the army; however, the
army had different dreams for him. He did not get
discouraged and still continued to work toward his goals.
You will hear the fascinating story of how he rose from
the hard training, from being stuck in the desert sand, to
become the head of the infirmary. He always
remembered his goals and used them as a direction to
achieve what he wanted.
You will come out of this
keynote address with these life lessons.
- Nothing
is impossible if you want it enough.
- Have a
goal and to act as if you have already achieved it.
- Concentrate
on what you have, not on what you lack.
- If you
do not ask, the answer is no. If you ask for
nothing, you get nothing.

Hot Tips from Clever Sages
This entertaining Keynote Address
teaches you to achieve success and higher profits by
letting go of any stress you experience in your workplace.
Dr. Gordon touches us
deeply with stories from sages around the world:
"We all live with our own paradigms and sometimes
it is hard for us to see somebody else's point of view.
In order to understand your partner, your partner, your
coworker, or your friend, I would like to share this story
with you:"
Once there was a frog who
lived in a small well all his life. He could never
understand that there was more to the world than his small
well until he got out of it. For the frog, the whole
world was just the bottom of his well. One day he
decided to jump up and see what was beyond the well.
He did not get very far. All he saw was the top of
the well wall. Over the top of the well wall was a
small animal, but he did not realize it. What he saw
were four little paws. He fell back into his well
before he could see any more. When he jumped up
again, he saw the animal's tail. Not understanding
that both the legs and the tail were part of an entire
animal, he assumed that the entire world was filled with
little legs moving around followed by little tails.
He therefore concluded, based on what he had seen, that
the world was only made up of paws and tails.
We often act just like this
small frog. We think only of what we see, and
therefore assume that the entire world functions in our
own scheme or reality. If we could see the whole
world at once, it would be overwhelming. Since this
just isn't possible, instead; we re-frame the world to fit
our frame of reference, forgetting that there may exist
another way. Remember, we are not necessarily seeing
the whole picture. Others may be seeing something
completely different from us.
We retain only 28% of what
we hear the first day and only 4% a week later.
Therefore, two people who were present at the same time
and place can have completely different views of the same
financial data. Sometimes people remember things
that were never actually said; they misconstrue the facts,
or hear only what they want to hear. Often you, your
partner, or your mate may disagree about a monetary
matter. You can both be right. You are both
seeing only the legs and tail of the situation, not the
whole picture. Most of us believe that one solution
is correct. If this were true, then everything would
work out, and we would not have to search for it.
Instead of focusing on one situation, change your mind set
to one in which more than one solution can work and
coexist.
Dear Dr. Gordon
I had a wonderful time
at your illuminating seminar. Your seemingly
infinite view of conflict resolution is a definite ground
breaker in psychology and sociology. Removing
conflict is exactly what we are doing, using your
techniques. I will highly recommend, to everyone I
meet, to look into your Conflict Resolution Institute.
We found your reference to animals and sages quite jovial
and yet so true. We greatly appreciate your
appearance and we will look forward any future appearances
you may have.
Sincerely,
Ilana Hever
